US Patent 11410299 System and method for counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles

A method for detecting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) includes detecting an unknown flying object in a monitored zone of air space. An image of the detected unknown flying object is captured. The captured image is analyzed to classify the detected unknown flying object. A determination is made, based on the analyzed image, whether the detected unknown flying object comprises a UAV. In response to determining that the detected unknown flying object comprises a UAV, one or more radio signals exchanged between the UAV and a user of the UAV are suppressed until the UAV departs from the monitored zone of air space.
